INTEGRATIVE MOVEMENT SYSTEM
The Integrative Movement System (IMS) was developed by Dr. Evan Osar, Chiropractic Physician and Jenice Mattek, Licensed Massage Therapist. They developed the Integrative Movement System” because early in their careers they couldn’t find a reliable and consistent strategy for training real-world folks like the Active Ageing (baby boomer and seniors), clients with an extensive medical history. and those individuals coming out of rehab and still experiencing chronic tightness, weakness, and inability to perform at the level they wanted.
The IMS has successfully helped thousands of individuals accomplish their health and fitness goals and enabled professionals like yourself to differentiate yourself in the industry. The Integrative Movement System” is based upon the principles that guide the development of optimal posture and movement. It is a three-phase process that first guides a client through history and assessment to discover underlying habits contributing to chronic tightness, discomfort, and or inability to perform at an optimal level. Next, the individual is given the most appropriate corrective exercises so that they develop more optimal posture and movement habits.
Finally, the individual progresses through the fundamental movement patterns – squatting, lunging, bending, rotating, pushing, pulling, balancing, walking, and carrying. This process empowers you to assist your clients to progress towards effectively and safely accomplishing their health and fitness goals. We are confident that you will not look at your training – or your education – the same after completing this program.
